I have something to say
I am waiting to speak
The things that I buried
Deep inside of me
The stories that I lived
A thousand times
Each filled with terror
Each making me cry
Today I want to speak of all my sins
Hoping that it'll help me get rid
Of this growing burden of endless guilt
Which is making me sick
You might be wondering what crimes I did
That made me so miserable
Are they even real crimes?
Or are they just my delusions?
Good question I might reply
For I am not sure myself
My whole world is a delusion
So, do you want to try?
But enough of this chit chat
Let's get to the point
I have countless sins to atone
And I am short on time
In my not so long lifetime
I've been hurt a lot of times
All this hurt kept piling
And slowly began to blind
I saw the world as tainted
With faces painted white
My god, people are so fake
It's a bitter truth that many fails to realize
I harbored inside of me hate
But also, a vulnerable child
Who wanted to hurt everyone?
But still cried when they cried
It's funny right
This battle of my mind
You see this is what I live
Each day and each night
My reality is my mind
Whom I blindly believe each time
I do not doubt it
And it lets me survive
But the day isn't far
When both it and I
Will tire each other out
And then slowly
We'll both fall apart
Until there is nothing left in and out.
